Understanding the Docker build context

In the latest installment of our Docker best practices series, we explore the crucial concept of build context, which is essential for optimizing image building. Understanding the build context helps developers streamline their workflows and improve efficiency. This article is a continuation of our series, where we previously discussed topics like cache usage, selecting base images, and multi-stage builds. By mastering these elements, developers can create more effective Docker images, ultimately enhancing their development processes.
